As one of New Zealand's 63 Coastguard units across Aotearoa, Coastguard Maketu, maintains, and operates three dedicated rescue vessels. These amazing volunteers respond to the call for help 24 hours a day 7 days a week covering from Papamoa Beach out and around Motiti Island, east to Plate Island and back into Otamarakau Beach. Last year, Coastguard Maketu volunteers responded to calls for help, and are the reason 5 people came home safely.
